Lorenzo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Lorenzo, an anxious dog, is looking for his rock in the storm! 🐶🐾❤️ Lorenzo has been living with our animal lover Lumi at the animal shelter in Borsa, Romania, since 2020. Lorenzo was scheduled to be euthanized. Fortunately, Lumi was called by a veterinarian and was able to save him. Lorenzo is very anxious and shy. However, he is now curious and sniffs at strangers to make contact, and can be petted with patience and caution. Unfortunately, he can't tell us what terrible things he has experienced. You will have to make an effort to gain his trust, but if you succeed, he will surely become a loyal and grateful companion for you. Lorenzo gets along well with other dogs and also likes to play with them. A confident first dog in the new home would definitely give him security and make it easier for him to get used to his new environment, but of course, a first dog is not a must for him.

Ängstlicher Lorenzo sucht seinen Fels in der Brandung! 🐶🐾❤️ Lorenzo lebt seit 2020 bei unserer Tierschützerin Lumi im Tierheim in Borsa, Rumänien. Lorenzo sollte getötet werden. Lumi wurde zum Glück vom Tierarzt angerufen und konnte ihn so retten. Lorenzo ist sehr ängstlich und schüchtern. Mittlerweile sucht er aber auch bei fremden Menschen neugierig durch Schnüffeln den Kontakt und lässt sich mit viel Geduld und Vorsicht anfassen. Leider kann er uns nicht erzählen, was er Schreckliches erlebt hat. Du wirst dich ein wenig bemühen müssen, sein Vertrauen zu gewinnen, aber wenn du es geschafft hast, wird er sicher ein treuer und dankbarer Begleiter für dich werden. Mit den anderen Hunden versteht sich Lorenzo gut und spielt auch sehr gerne mit ihnen. Ein souveräner Ersthund im neuen Zuhause würde ihm bestimmt Sicherheit geben und es ihm erleichtern, sich an sein neues Umfeld zu gewöhnen, aber natürlich ist ein Ersthund kein Muss für die

About Lorenzo

What life with Lorenzo looks like

Lorenzo is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Mischlingsliebe e.V. in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lorenzo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lorenzo?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Mischlingsliebe e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lorenzo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lorenzo if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Mischlingsliebe e.V. will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Lorenzo already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Lorenzo isn't the right fit?: Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Mischlingsliebe e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lorenzo and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?: TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
